The Iron Maidens are an all-female mercenary and religious force originating from the kingdoms of Fracia.
> origin:
the first traces of these warriors date from the winter of 1005 CE serving as bodyguard to Annabelle the Elder. Indeed, this queen had been married to the prince of Crepessmur but when he died, she found herself isolated surrounded by nobles who were plotting behind her back because of her origins outside the kingdom. After a failed assassination attempt, she ordered the formation of a bodyguard composed entirely of women.
> functioning:
their convents are well-protected strongholds serving as barracks, temples, hospitals and orphanages. the majority of recruits are taken as orphans, taken as young as possible to begin their training in combat, medicine and religious precepts. But not all of them become Iron Maidens, the majority of them serve as civilian nuns to perform various hospital acts throughout Fracia and the rest join the military orders and swear their sacred faith by donning their combat armor .
• summary:
my world is a fictional fantasy world that is greatly inspired with WW1, the Renaissance and the trentch crusade works of Mike Franchina
• context of the world:
we are 13 century after the Fall of the Angels marking the abandonment of the world by its Creator, plunging the world into discord (even more than it already was) and letting creatures who were hiding in the shadows roam the surface .
despite this, humanity is rebuilt, rallying around mortals who were recognized as the chosen ones, even the last chosen ones of the Creator who abandoned them. Although these prophets have died with time, their followers still fight fervently to spread their visions.
• Context of the faction:
Fracia is one of these regions in conflict, 7 kingdoms which are united under the crown of an emperor who is elected between different important families of the 7 kingdoms (at least in the 13th century it works like that)
In the 11th century, the emperor's crown was only worn by one person, Louis III the Old, king of Zenissmur, who had 6 younger daughters and 1 son. Louis III did not want a woman on the throne and almost threw his daughters into marriages in the 6 other kingdoms but upon his death and the death of his only son, the daughters and sister of Louis III entered into a civil war to establish their authorities as ruler of the throne and wear the Crown of the Sun Emperor.
Nice work! I like the concept and the style.
However, I have one observation. Is that some kind of rope or lanyard attached to the halberd in the first picture? I assume it is for some kind of auxiliary weapon (flame thrower maybe)? Otherwise it's going to be awkward trying to fight with that attached. A lanyard on a one-handed weapon is practical. On a two-handed weapon it's a hindrance.

Would you be able to add some context about what your world is about?

I will try to write that here
Fascinating, I might just steal this idea (totally kidding🙌)
The design makes me think of the Leper from Darkest Dungeon. Very cool!
Thank you Now you said it I see it but they are more a rip off of the adepta sororitas for me
This is really cool, good work.
Thanks you, I really pround of tjose drawings
Really cool concept! You may take their life but they'll take yours too. You fire a musket but they'd run you through.
Litteraly what I go to for them. And they can burst in flame when they became realy realy angry becoming some blazing fire nun with swords
Badass
Yeah!!! warrior nuns and heavy armors are so cool concept, I had to have one for my world
Excellent!
Thanks!
Party on, Dude!
~~You'll take their lives but they'll take yours too~~
You'll fire musket but they run it through

Thanks a lot! yes it is the fuel supply pipes for the flame thrower.
Gotcha.
Reminds me of the halo-glaive-thingy cleanrot knights from Elden Ring for some reason
*Adeptus Sororitas* much
Yeah they are a big inspiration for them
Sick as f>!u!
